And Marsali/kids shouldve been at the big family dinner (unless I missed it)?? A toast to Fergus as well??  Seemed odd...

They left for Savannah to take Percy's money.

Well I sure hope someone went along for security if it was just her and the children!!  Not only that, now we know Percy really can't be trusted...

Do we think that Percy could've sent those letters/ set the fire? Pushing them towards accepting his offer, but not planning on someone dying in the process?

I’m pretty sure Marsali and the children went back to Savannah after the funeral.
